mystery of the roseby ~nevs28

Digital Art / Drawings / Portraits

after a long time, my most personal and darkest piece, it exemplifies love and pain, intertwined like the thorns of the rose

it took almost two months to complete,
although the initial sketch was done last year, it was all but forgotten until recently it caught my attention.

done using photoshop CS3; lot of shape layers, blending modes, but most importantly, i owe it to my friend (pratik) who had a project work, so whilst working on his logo,
i used an adjustment layer to alter the shading and like a big bright light bulb, an idea..
i used that adjustment layer for my artwork and that sealed it! i got the look that i wanted. it changed everything.

I don't even think I can find the words to say... I am completely blown away I am so awed and inspired I can't even begin to described how amazed I am. This has to be one of the most beautiful art pieces I have ever seen in my life I love the extraordinary attention to detail, this piece is breathtaking from the color scheme to the way you render hair is so mind blowing. I just have to ask what colors did you use to render the skin and hair? because black hair keeps kicking my butt lol and how did you do the amazing hair?, this is the best hair I have ever seen on this site. This piece is so elegant and powerful emotion and mood, this should be in a museum with the other masterpieces

Your words mean a lot to me
I Thank you immensely

I was deeply inspired by "memoirs of a geisha"

Surprisingly the hair was not as tough to render

I Wil try and send you a pdf explaining the technique

Thank you once again
God bless you
